Makeup Artist Daniel Martin gave actress Gretchen Mol a new romantic look for the Season 3 Premiere of her show, Boardwalk Empire. Daniel wanted to keep her makeup subtle and classic focusing on the lips. Combined with her upswept hair, Gretchen’s final look was a “modern Downton Abbey lady.”

I am excited to try this out, the Iris notes sound really intriguing. I am a little hesitant about the Patchouli but am interested to see how all these notes blend.

Lancôme LA VIE EST BELLE

Eau de Parfum Spray

“La vie est belle”, a French expression meaning “Life is beautiful”; the manifesto of a new era. Universal yet personal, Lancôme’s femininity is a choice embraced by women, not an imposed standard. The choice to live one’s life and fill it with beauty. Your own way.

Lancôme has long fostered this conviction, and shares it today with all women in the form of an exceptional creation. The fragrance of joyful femininity and happiness. The fragrance that makes life more beautiful.

La vie est belle introduces a new olfactive story, the first ever iris gourmand. The juice is made with the most precious natural ingredients, a modern interpretation of an oriental fragrance with a twist of gourmand. It entwines the elegance of iris with the strength of Patchouli and the sweetness of a gourmand blend; for an incredible scent with depth and complexity.

Top Note: The elegance of Iris becomes the backbone of the fragrance. It blossoms from the first to the last note like never before.
Middle Note: The strength of Patchouli gives strength and depth.
Base Note: A sweet gourmand adds a burst of unexpected radiance.

Starting today, July 10th, Sephora.com will host an online exclusive event for Beauty Insiders, giving you the opportunity to purchase NEW Hypnôse Star, Lancôme’s most glamorous mascara, for just 72 hours before it hits counters in September.

Inspired by the sensuous femininity of 1930’s Hollywood films, Hypnôse Star exudes theatrical glamour like no other. Encased in a sparkling tube, the volumizing mascara coats lashes in a decadent formula that makes for a spotlight-stealing gaze. A dual-sided brush creates ultra-glam eyes, by building intense volume at the lash line and finishing with alluring length and curl.

Coming together to capture the essence of Hypnôse Star is longtime Lancôme model Daria Werbowy and the iconic Betty Boop. The first-ever comic heroine, Boop’s flirtatiously long eyelashes and “boo-boo-bee-doo” catchphrase have come to typify the eternally youthful spirit of the Hollywood ingénue. We’re happy to offer quotes from Betty Boop, our new ambassadress who truly embodies the glamour of Hypnôse Star.

Hypnôse Star suggested retail, $28; available at Sephora and sephora.com nationwide beginning in September.
